RCIA

The official process for entering the Catholic Church is called the Rite of Christian Iniatiation for Adults (RCIA) and is a combination of education, immersion, and spiritual growth that can trace its roots to the earliest days of the Church when members were still openly persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ. RCIA at St. Alphonsus has several components including weekly classes to learn what the Church teaches, special liturgical celebrations, and a retreat. 

The 2022-2023 RCIA program at St. Alphonsus Liguori Parish begins on September 12, the first Sunday after Labor Day, and continues until May 7. Those who have never received Christian baptism are called Catechumens, while those who have received baptim in a non-Catholic church are called Candidates. 

Catechumens and candidates are expected to attend a weekly class offered every Sunday immediately after the 10:30am liturgy in the St. Robert room of the All Souls Center. Each week we discuss the readings from the Mass, what the Church teaches on matters of faith and morals, learn how the Church prays, and grow in community with each other.
